The router uses an Intel/Lantiq GRX350 SoC (System on Chip). OpenWrt lacks mainline support for this specific chipset, and the necessary drivers (specifically for the Wi-Fi 6 radio) often require proprietary "binary blobs" that Intel has not made open-source. Hardware Highlights: CPU: Intel Dual-Core. RAM: 256 MiB. Flash: 128 MiB.

is currently by the official OpenWrt project. While the router's stock firmware is actually built on an OpenWrt base, several hardware hurdles make a community port highly unlikely in the near future. Compatibility Summary The router uses an Intel/Lantiq GRX350 SoC (System on Chip)
during normal operation, sometimes becoming too hot to touch. This is a hardware design issue independent of the firmware. RAM: 256 MiB
Community developers estimate that bringing full support to this router would require months of ground-up development due to the lack of existing SoC support in the OpenWrt kernel. Alternatives for OpenWrt Seekers
